Hi!
The gems can also be obtained in boards, if you get 100 coins at least when you finish the board, or even in the gifts that are in some squares. Also in the boxes that are in the worlds, when you managed to finish some games with 20 points.
Greetings!

Just wait until you get some more (tens or hundreds) and then you'll be able to use them easily

Hmm, I just bought the castle board with 90 squares on it. What's the difference in the other boards that are available? Do they offer as many gifts as the castle one? I noticed you can get quite a few gems by playing on that board, I want to get the other two boards, but just wondering if anyone knows the difference between the castle, the water, and the cave I think it is....
Thanks!

Avira detected it as a malicious software so I went crazy  at it and installed Microsoft Security Essentials, and now that I have Win10 Windows Defender does the job fantastically.
@staindaddict the board that has the most number of gems and rewards is the castle, the other differences are that each board offers you mini-games from its own genre so let's say you're playing the waters, you'll be getting some mini-games related to the beach or the ice that has a relation to water and so on. Something present only in the cave is that the mini-games are put on regular squares having 10 as a common multiple so you'll get a mini-game when landing at 10, 20, 30 and so on until 80 which is the last square having a mini-game since the board has 81.

I'd love to see a faster way to win gems. I realize you have to play for hours and days, but ugh. I want to unlock the minigame options and stuff

Yes, if you win the game.

This is not true. You get one gem if you're the second in a party with two people or 2 if you are the first. When being one of three players, you get 3 when being the first, 2 when being the second and 1 when being the last. That number grows by 1 for each additional  player so that the last player in the rankings always gets 1 gem. That also applies for teams. If you're not being able to find servers easily, choose the option that lets you connect to any given game once a server of its kind is launched. You can also play micro-games, and in that case everyone gets one single gem, and the one who wins all 6 rounds gets 2, and this is the only place where the number of won rounds matters; it doesn't anywhere else.

You can do this by holding down the letter N and pressing enter.

hi,
I hope I don't sound too stupid for wundering about this, but how do you work the clockwise valves in the game in the factory? What is the arrow combination that you press? I failed epicly at that game.

hi,
I actually did. In fact, I had a 100% hammer hitting accuracy rate. I was just confused there when it said clockwise.

Ok, this game is extremely cool, and I have enjoyed it immensely.  I just started playing it about a week or so ago.  What a fantastic job, Pragma.  I must admit, the nerd part of me would love to see your code.  I know that it was written in BGT.  I myself am actually in the middle of a project in BGT, but I have ran into a snag that has halted progress until a solution is found.  So having worked with BGT, I would be fascinated to see what this code looks like, given the complexity of some of the aspects of the game.  Obviously, I know this is not possible.  Again, great job on this game.  I have just a few thoughts:
First, it seems pointless to have XP or saved money in a box if they cannot be used for anything.  Has anyone figured out what these things are for?  If they are unusable, I wonder why they are even there.  Pragma, if these are unusable, do you have plans to incorporate them in the future?
Secondly, the numbers quiz game is cool.  However, I would like to see the question base expanded some.  Perhaps you could add some questions related to medicine, to law, even possibly to computer programming, as well as a host of other things.  I have noticed that there seems to be a large number of questions relating to shipwrecks.  Perhaps those should be toned down some, as I spent about an hour the other day googling them, and had a lot of difficulty finding them.  That brings me to my next thought:
There needs to be a way to spell words, especially in chat messages.  Last night I was connected to a server where there was a Spanish player.  I am American, but I happen to know quite a bit of Spanish.  This person was unable to speak English.  However, despite my knowledge of the language, I was unable to communicate well with him, because Jaws absolutely murdered pronunciations.  Had I been able to spell things, translating what he said would have actually been possible.
Another question:  What are the objects that are referred to in online mode?  When a game begins, you hear something like:  Player A has 1500 objects.  Player B has 954 objects.  What does this mean?
This game is awesome, and I can see avenues for huge potential in the future.  Thanks for the hard work in providing something so enjoyable.
